Peru tours, attractions to visit
- When you think of Peru, one of the first things that might just come to mind is the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu – it sits approximately 300m above the Urubamba River. Standing alone atop the backdrop, the ruined city shows off a view of the jungle that is lush and provides a kaleidoscope of colors for eye to feast upon. Once inside the ruins, you will see ancient art and the remains of a bustling hub of civilization that the Incas created to serve their needs.
- For the adventurer, we highly recommend the four-day hike that is the walk along the Inca Trail that ends at Machu Picchu. Our company has permission to book your four-day trek from the government who limits tourist visits to protect the pristine scenery from overuse. If you aren’t an experienced hiker, you will be by the time you have finished your trip – the biggest challenge for the trekkers is on the second day when you make a 1200m ascent to a couple of high mountain passes that lead you to the end of your journey. The trail is dotted with many Inca ruins and you can stop to explore them as you make your way to your final destination Machu Picchu.
- If you like boat cruises, a trip to Lake Titicaca – almost 4000m above sea level is a cruise that can’t be missed. The lake is famous for being the highest navigable lake in the world and the villages that surround the lake are well worth the visit. To see old Peru, a stop at the floating islands known as Islas Flotantes is the way to see how people have lived and thrived since history was recorded in the area.
- When you descend the mountainous region of Peru, the first stop to make is at Nazca Lines in the desert near Nazca and Paracas. The lines are drawings, really, and they depict over 70 species of plants and animals and the magnitude of what you are looking at will take a while to digest. But one thing all visitors to the area agree on is the lines left them awestruck.
- When heading for the Amazon, your jumping off point will be at Puerto Maldonado, just an hour by air from Cusco. Wildlife and the lush green confines of the rainforest are magnets for visitors and seeing new species of animals in their natural environment is what keeps tourist of all nationalities coming back.
- What visit to Peru would be complete without a stop in Lima? It houses many UNESCO World Heritage buildings that date back to the 18th century. In 1746, Lima was hit with a devastating earthquake and was re-built thereafter with many of the buildings surviving for hundreds of years thereafter. Churches, government administration buildings that are some of the finest architecture in the country are waiting for your visit.
